  5. Appreciate the importance of assessing content from different sources, including dynamic content from social media, critically. (A)<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

    Goal 2: Understand personal privacy, information ethics, and intellectual property issues in changing technology environments.<\/h4>\r\n

    1. Differentiate between the production of original information and remixing or re-purposing open resources. (C)<\/li>\r\n\t

      8. Value user-generated content and critically evaluate contributions made by others: see self as a producer, as well as consumer, of information. (A)<\/li>\r\n\t
      9. Be open to global perspectives; use communication with others in a global context to encourage deep learning. (A)<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
